Nothing beats the flavor of homemade salad dressing. Making your own salad dressing gives you control of what ingredients go into it. Serve this with a wedge of iceberg lettuce, as a dip for skinny buffalo wings or one of my favorite ways to enjoy this is on a roast beef sandwich on a good whole wheat crusty bread with arugula.

i make one similar but reduce make it healthier. it's amazing! skip the mayo. mix in olive oil. also, use non-fat greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt.

sometimes if i plan ahead, i actually roast spring onions (chopped) or green onions (chopped) w/ olive oil and then mix that into the blue cheese dressing (no need to double up on the EVOO). i always get rave reviews on that one!

I made this tonight and I thought it was a good start but too 'yogurty'. Another low fat recipe uses 2 oz yogurt, 2 oz fat free sour cream and 2 oz buttermilk. I may try that variation next time. I also added fresh tarragon as new shoots are just poking up.

I made this and it tasted great. The problem was I mixed it, covered it and placed it in the fridge while I made the salad. Some kind of chemical reaction occurred and when I took it out (about 30 minutes later), the conisstency had broken down and it was now as thin as water. Did I do something wrong?

myra — I was having the same problem. I found a tip somewhere that said you should keep your dressing in a mason jar, or any glass jar for that matter, and it has since worked for me! Not sure what the reasoning is...

I read this recipe yesterday...and knew I wanted to make it last night. I ran to the store and got "all" the ingredients so I could make it. BUT I forgot the vinegar. So I made it as you suggested with adding the same amount of water as you would vinegar. Turned out delicious. AND, I added only 1/2 of the blue cheese and left out the salt. I was awesome. No doubt that Gina's recipe made properly is better, but I thought mine was tasty...and probably an smidge less in points :)

Mmmm I just made this!! It is DELISH! I have Buffalo skinless Chicken Breasts baking in the oven and made a nice bath of Blue Cheese to with. I also made a yummy Spinach Salad as well because I don't typically keep iceberg on hand. Dinner will be yummy tonight! (if I stop dipping carrots in it!!)

I just made this and it is awesome! Being on WW I miss the creamy dressings. This is fantastic. I used ff greek yogurt since I didn't have the other and it was great! Made our favorite salad, the wedge. Thanks again Gina!

This is in response to the break down of the dressing - did you have it in a metal bowl or leave a metal spoon in it?Love this - thank you! I could never stick to a diet and because of your site and sparks I am satified!

I made this with feta last night and a friend made the blue cheese! We shared - Both delish and wonderful - out for some iceberg and tomatoes and bacon - for a beautiful wedge salad. Thanks for all these great recipes!

This is dressing is amazing. I made it the other night and let it sit for 24 hours so it can all mix well together. Oh wow I will make this again for sure. Thank You for the recipe, I have been trying to find a low point dressing but could not find one that I like.

Used this on iceberg wedges. It was super tangy! Maybe I measured something wrong? I used a bit of sugar to counter the sour and my family was able to eat it along with me. Thanks for all your wonderful posts!

My husband and I LOVED this recipe, and he usually hates "low-fat" versions of dressings. I used nonfat Greek yogurt and a vegan low-fat mayo. He did comment on the tanginess, but I think the minor modifications I suggest on my blog would take care of that. I'm looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

I am a HUGE blue cheese dressing lover....but trying to watch my calorie intake kind of makes this dressing a non-option.....UNTIL NOW!! Made this dressing today and it was AWESOME!! Can't wait to have a salad again tomorrow for lunch to add this deliciousness to it!

I'm new to your blog, tonight we made 3 of your recipes! They were awesome! My husband can't stand blue cheese dressings, and I LOVE it, but not the low cal ones! This one was so good! Even approved by my blue cheese-hater husband! I did use fat free greek yogurt, and it was perfect! Thanks for the great website!

This is a keeper! My husband loves blue cheese and he couldn't believe it was low fat. As did other reviewers, I made this with Greek FF yogurt. We had this with carrots and celery as a dip - the only hard part is stopping at one serving size :)

This dressing is divine. Made it for Super Bowl dinner to go with carrots and celery. Unreal! Hard to stop at one serving though. Used FF Greek yogurt as others suggested. If you like blue cheese, you have to try this! Does not taste low fat at all.

I made this today and it is unbelieveable. I made it with FF Greek yogurt and reduced fat blue cheese crumbles. It was so good on my salad tonight. I can't wait to try it with wings!! thanks!! I love this website!!

Reading the above comments makes me LOL because after I made and tried this dip last night i thought "this is the best blue cheese dressing I have ever had and I have had them all." Kudos to you, seriously.

Hi Gina, New to your blog and really can't wait to try lots of recipes. I did try the bleu cheese dressing last night, and like another commenter, it was very tangy and it was thick. Do you have any suggestions for how to counter those two things? Thank you so much! I just love bleu cheese dressing but couldn't eat it before due to high fat and calories!!

Made this the other day. It is the best blue cheese dressing I have ever tasted. I had it three days in a row on lettuce wedges. My whole family loved it . From now on it will be the only blue cheese dressing I will ever use. Followed the recipe to the letter and it did not separate even after being in the fridge for three days.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this dressing! I've been using it as a dip for my veggies, as well as a dressing for my salads. It tastes great, is low in Points and I don't even miss my fat-filled dressings with this recipe around. Thank you SO much for all your fabulous recipes. You're quite amazing! :)

I kind of cringed when I read that it used both 1 Tablespoon of vinegar and lemon juice. It was just way too sour for me. I thinned it out with a little milk, but the flavor just did not do it for me. I guess I'll try the milk and sour cream idea. Sorry, Gina.

I just made this to go with your buffalo stuffed chicken breast and am floored!! I will never eat bottled blue cheese dressing again! Thanks again for another hit that's full of flavor and easy on the hips!! :)

This dressing it fantastic!! Even my boyfriend agreed that it's the best blue cheese dressing he's ever tasted. I went back to the grocery for more yogurt today so I can double the recipe tonight and have plenty to have on hand for salads and dip!!

I've made this dressing before and it is delicious! Makes you think you're indulging, when you really aren't. I do have a question though: how long do you think this will last in the refrigerator after it's made? I'd like to make a batch and have it on hand.

Made this exactly as recipe states - it was nice and thick so I added just about 1 - 2 tsps of low fat buttermilk to stretch it. It is wonderful! I was looking for a good low cal/fat alternative blue cheese dressing and I believe I've found it!

Amazing dressing! Made it to go along with the Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps and I am shocked and amazed at how much it tastes like a regular, full fat dressing! So hard to not eat it by the spoonful! :)

Delicious! I had just enough blue cheese to make half of this recipe. I didn't have the vinegar so I used skim milk to thin it to dressing consistency. Using this recipe will save me one point compared to the light blue cheese I've been eating, but I'm not sure how budget friendly it'll be.

My husband loved it! We made it for the Buffalo Turkey Burger recipe but then my husband asked to have a salad (he rarely does that!) just so he could have more blue cheese! I'm not a big blue cheese fan but I thought it was good too
